Resonant near-field probes can be used for localization and characterization of noise sources in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) applications. However, the usability of a resonant probe is limited by its narrow bandwidth. This article presents a design and the corresponding optimization flow which improves the bandwidth of a resonant H-field probe by adapting the impedance variation ratio of t...Show More
The parasitic inductance of a capacitor depends on its physical structure. Due to the geometry of 3-terminal capacitors, they boast a lower parasitic inductance compared to 2-terminal capacitors of the same and possibly smaller package sizes. While the parasitic inductance of a single 3-terminal capacitor may be lower, using multiple 2-terminal capacitors may result in similar performance. In this...Show More
In this article, a method for analyzing coupling mechanisms in radio frequency interference (RFI) problems is proposed. The partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method is first used to derive the retarded inductances and capacitances between different mesh cells. With the introduction of a novel partitioning algorithm, the capacitive coupling and inductive coupling between arbitrary layout pa...Show More
Accurate evaluation and simulation of power noise is critical in the development of modern electronic devices. However, the widely used target impedance fails to predict the low-frequency noise generated in a device due to the existence of the dc–dc converter, whose output impedance can change under different loading conditions. A physical circuit model is then desired to replicate the behavior of...Show More
Negative capacitance cancellation technique is widely used to cancel the influences of parasitic capacitances, e.g., those in power converters and inductors. The operation amplifier based one is particularly promising due to the flexibility in capacitance tuning. However, the performance of such negative capacitance converters is influenced by the un-ideal performance of the op-amp. This paper pro...Show More

Due to the fast-switching nature of modern power converters, up to hundreds of MHz of common-mode noise can easily be generated. The characterization of switching components, e.g., Si MOSFETs, is essential for noise reduction. However, limited by the bandwidth of instruments, the voltage-dependent capacitances of high voltage MOSFETs are typically characterized at approximately 1 MHz, which is ins...Show More
With the increasing switching frequencies and power densities in modern power converters, magnetic core losses are becoming more essential for efficiency and thermal optimization. Traditionally, the two-winding method suffers from sensitivity to phase error in practical measurements; this is mainly created by the unknown phase shift of a current-sensing resistor. Several methods have been develope...Show More
As an essential component in power applications, magnetic cores and their design play an important role in achieving high efficiency and high power density. Accurate measurement of the core loss is important for inductor and power converter optimization. Loss measurement depends on exactly determining the phase angle between the voltage and the current. However, measurement errors can be introduce...Show More
Proper power integrity (PI) analysis is essential for modem electronics devices to minimize voltage noise. The low- frequency response of a power distribution network (PDN) is determined by the voltage regulator modules (VRMs) installed on the board. However, the conventional VRM model is either represented by an over-simplified passive circuit or an encrypted model provided by then vendor. These ...Show More
